99% NO.6 Sunny 2013

Editor: Here we have Sedrick Huckaby's "99% NO.6 Sunny," a small but striking portrait. The intense, almost scribbled lines give it such a raw, immediate feel. How do you interpret this work? Curator: It feels like Huckaby is capturing more than just a likeness. Look at the inscription, "I am an artist is a prophet." Perhaps this is a self-portrait, a declaration of artistic purpose amidst the everyday. What do you think? Editor: Oh, that's a powerful read! It reframes the whole piece. I was so focused on the technique, but now I see the artist's statement. Curator: Exactly! And that's the magic, isn't it? Art is never just what you see, but what it makes you feel and think.
